Ann Curry

“I try to do stories that make a difference -- stories that affect the way people think, stories that people need to hear -- and usually what drives me is to do stories about people who have no voice, people who have no political power, people who are overlooked by society.”

“If you can have faith in your real self, you'll suffer less. Be bold about who you really are.”

“Beauty doesn't matter because in the end, we all lose our looks and all we have is our heart.”
